I am a Flip Flopper

» by Joe in: Politics

I have changed my mind.

I have written some pretty bad things about John McCain on this site, I called him Juan McCain, I called him a RINO, and a bunch of other things I won’t bring up. You can check the archives if you want to read them.

I was, still am a Fred Head. As a matter of fact Fred Thompson was the first Political candidate, whom has ever caused me to separate my money from my wallet by donating to his campaign, when he dropped out of the race, I reluctantly went over to Romney. When it became apparent that John McCain was the GOP’s nominee, I was livid. I was so upset, have been so upset for the past few months that I just couldn’t find the motivation to blog here on this site and have considered shutting it down.

Despite that I had fully, and reluctantly, planned to hold my nose from the stink, and cast my vote not so much for John McCain but against Barrack Obama.

I am now announcing that I have changed my mind, I will not be holding my nose and going to the booth on election day to cast my vote against Obama.

That’s right I have flip flopped.

On November 4th, 2008 I will proudly head to my local voting station, step into that booth and cast my vote FOR JOHN MCCAIN.

That’s right, as you can see from the banner on the side bar, I have jumped firmy aboard the Straight Talk Express.

John McCain, has just hit a Grand Slam Home Run with his pick for his Vice Presidential candidate. I haven’t been this excited since Fred Thompson completely owned the South Carolina Republican debates.

Sarah Palin is exactly what John McCain’s candidacy, the Republican Party, Washington D.C. and the whole country needs.

She’s a pro-life, pro second amendment, pro free market, pro drilling in the US, young fresh face on the political scene who is the only true non politics as usual Washington insider currently on the campaign trail.

I am jacked about this pick.

McCain’s VP Choice

» by Joe in: Politics

The buzz is circulating around Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, as the person who will be announced today as John McCain VP nominee. If this is the case, I have to say it’s an awesome pick.
She’s a lifetime NRA member who enjoys hunting, fishing and general outdoors life.

She’s pro-life, strongly pro-life.

She also has a reputation as a “Maverick” but better then McCains, she fights Republican corupption and fights for Conservatism, rather then pander to Democrats like McCain.

She wants to drill in ANWR.

Not to mention that she’ll pick up a lot of voters who would have otherwise voted for Hillary or Obama, without having to shift to the left to do so.

GREAT choice.

Here is video of her recently on Glenn Beck:

Who abandoned who?

» by Joe in: Politics

A little while ago I opened up a piece of mail that I received from the Republican National Committee. It pissed me off so much that I just had to write a reply.

Here is the letter:
(and no, they didn’t address it to Mr. Rightwingrebel.)

Dear Mr. Rightwingrebel,

I don’t want to believe you’ve abandoned the Republican Party, but I have to ask… Have you given up ?

Our records show we have not yet received your Republican National Committee membership renewal for the critical 2008 presidential election year.

As the Treasurer of the RNC, I know our Party’s success depends directly on grassroots leaders like you.

So I am surprised and concerned especially because I know how generously you supported President Bush and the RNC in the past. You helped to advance our vision for America and elect Republicans at all levels of government.

Mr. Rightwingrebel, I know other things come up, and perhaps you’ve just been delayed in renewing your membership. If that’s the case, I understand.

But we’ve not heard from you this year — and I hope you haven’t deserted our Party.

Your generous financial assistance and active involvement are more important than ever as we work to elect a new Republican president and Congress.

There is so much at stake. The Democrats are determined to put a liberal like Barack Obama in the White House, expand their narrow majorities in the U.S. House and Senate, and push our country to the Left with their agenda of high taxes, big government and weakened national security.

Big Labor, radical liberal protest groups and Hollywood elites are planning to spend more than $500 million to defeat Republicans and aid the Democrat power grab.

Mr. Rightwingrebel, the RNC relies on the voluntary support of Republican activists like you.

That’s why I urgently need you to renew your RNC membership for 2008 with a contribution of $1,000, $500, $250, $100, $50 or even $25.

The men and women who will represent us in this year’s election are hard at work building strong campaigns.

And so is the RNC. We are doing our part to provide the research, staff support, voter registration, volunteer recruitment and training, and direct financial assistance our candidates need to win.

The RNC is the ONLY Republican organization permitted by federal law to directly support our presidential nominee.

If we fail to hold the White House and make gains in Congress, the Democrats have made clear they will overturn every reform you helped President Bush achieve.

Democrat presidential candidates and the Reid/Pelosi-run-Congress have promised to repeal the Bush tax cuts, retreat from the War on Terror and increase the size of government through their one-size-fits-all health care plan.

We cannot allow them to succeed ! That’s why your renewed commitment is so important.

So if you have delayed in renewing your membership because you feel the RNC has let you down, or no longer needs you, please let me know. I want to hear from you.

Just include your comments and suggestions with the enclosed Membership Confirmation and return with your 2008 membership renewal check. You can also renew by calling 1-800-445-5781 or via our secure website at www.GOP.com/Treasurer2008.

But please don’t turn your back on our Republican candidates running for office from the Courthouse to the White House; they are counting on your support. Renew your RNC membership today. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Tim Morgan
RNC Treasurer

P.S. The 2008 elections are critical to the future of our nation. We need the support of every Republican to retain the White House, regain Congress and elect GOP legislators at all levels. Please don’t quit on our Party and our cause now. Renew your RNC membership today.
Thank you.

Below is my reply, I don’t know if I am going to even bother to mail it, it probably will not do any good. But I decided to post it here.

Dear Mr. Morgan,

I was so angered upon receiving the most recent fundraising request letter from the Republican National Committee, this particular one signed by you, that I have decided to reply.

You may be asking yourself what is it that upset me so much? Well, imagine my surprise when I open up the envelope from the RNC and read the very first paragraph which stated:

I don’t want to believe you’ve abandoned the Republican Party, but I have to ask… Have you given up?

Quite frankly I was insulted, because it is myself who has been asking the same question of the Republican Party… Has it given up?

No Mr. Morgan, it is not I who have abandoned the Republican Party, but it is the GOP who sadly has abandoned myself and many other Conservatives like me.

Our current presumed, Presidential nominee is a man who contemplated leaving the Republican Party himself in the early portion of 2001, upset after having failed to win the nomination during the previous year’s primary cycle. He is a man who seriously considered joining the John Kerry ticket and running as his vice-presidential candidate in 2004.

This is the face of the Republican Party?

In the past ten years the Republican Party has slid more and more to the left, to such a point that except for only a handful of issues it is extremely difficult to tell the difference between a Republican and a Democrat these days.

Thanks to so-called Republicans we have seen:

  • The Federal budget as well as the Federal Government in general balloon to proportions so gigantic, that even some of the biggest died-in-the-wool “big government” liberals are secretly envious at what our Republican President Bush has been able to do in that regard.
  • McCain/Feingold, drafted by our current presumed nominee and signed into law by our Republican President, which has completely trampled over the 1st Amendment.
  • McCain/Kennedy, another disgusting attempt at kissing up to Liberals by our current presumed nominee, which would have given a free pass to millions of law breaking illegal immigrants and was fully supported by our current Republican President.
  • Two brave Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, who instead of receiving praise for a job well done have received jail sentences while the scumbag, drug trafficking, illegal they took down receives deals from federal prosecutors.

I’m sorry Mr. Morgan, but I cannot reward Republican Party for its bad behavior by giving it my hard earned money.

Rest assured, despite the fact that on a whole host of issues, Sen. McCain is nothing more then a Democrat-lite, I will be holding my nose in disgust as I cast my ballot for him this November. I believe the stakes are far too high to let a political novice, with the false sirens cry of “change” masking his socialist tendencies into the White House. But, what I will not be doing anytime soon is parting with any of my money to give to the RNC.

Maybe if the RNC decides to:

  • Fight to seal our nations borders nice and tight,
  • Round-up, arrest and deport law breaking illegal immigrants.
  • Apply heavy handed punishments to companies and indivisuals who support and employee illegals,
  • Free and fully pardon the wrongfully imprisoned Border Patrol Agents,
  • Denounce and repeal McCain/Feingold,
  • Stand up to Al Gore and the lunatic global warming zeolets,
  • Make a commitment, to start tapping into our Nations crude oil deposits and drill in places like ANWR
  • Make a commitment to building new refineries here in America.
  • Make a commitment to ending all pork barrell spending,
  • Make a comitment and a true efffort to DECREASE the size of the Federal Government
  • Make a commitment to decreasing taxes and simplifying the tax code,
  • Make a true commitment to standing by the time honored and true Conservative principles of Liberty, Personal Freedom and Indivisual Responsibility.

I might consider parting with my money, but not until I see the GOP as a whole abandon its decade long swing to the left, and realign itself as a true Conservative Party, and not until I see the GOP apologize and make amends to Conservatives like myself whom it has abandoned.

Douchebag Of The Week: John Wiley Price

Now this may sound like a satirical story from a source such as the Onion, but in fact it is an actual event that happened during a county meeting this past Monday afternoon.

Via the Dallas Morning News’s City Hall Blog:

A special meeting about Dallas County traffic tickets turned tense and bizarre this afternoon.

County commissioners were discussing problems with the central collections office that is used to process traffic ticket payments and handle other paperwork normally done by the JP Courts.

Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, said it seemed that central collections “has become a black hole” because paperwork reportedly has become lost in the office.

Commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, interrupted him with a loud “Excuse me!” He then corrected his colleague, saying the office has become a “white hole.”

That prompted Judge Thomas Jones, who is black, to demand an apology from Mayfield for his racially insensitive analogy.

Mayfield shot back that it was a figure of speech and a science term. A black hole, according to Webster’s, is perhaps “the invisible remains of a collapsed star, with an intense gravitational field from which neither light nor matter can escape.”

Other county officials quickly interceded to break it up and get the meeting back on track. TV news cameras were rolling, after all.

Wow. I’m not from Dallas so I’m not familiar with the political workings of the area, so I’m not sure if this Price guy is just a total moron, or just a race-baiter. In either case because of his extreme case of douchebaggery he has won the award as this week’s Rightwingrebel.com Douchebag of the week.

Douchebag Of The Week: Chris Satullo

I have decided to start a new feature here on my blog, now that I am once again trying to post on a semi regular basis. As you can see from the title of the post, the new feature is the Douchebag of the week. Congratulations goes out to Chris Satullo, a columnust for the Philadelphia Enquirer, you sir for being an American hating piece of crap are the very first Douchebag of the week over here at RightWingRebel.com.

Here is an excerpt from this douchebag’s most recent article where he claims that we American’s do not deserve a July 4th holiday this year.

Tuck the soaring speeches in a drawer for another time.

This year, America doesn’t deserve to celebrate its birthday. This Fourth of July should be a day of quiet and atonement.

For we have sinned.

We have failed to pay attention. We’ve settled for lame excuses. We’ve spit on the memory of those who did that brave, brave thing in Philadelphia 232 years ago.

The America those men founded should never torture a prisoner.

The America they founded should never imprison people for years without charge or hearing.

The America they founded should never ship prisoners to foreign lands, knowing their new jailers might torture them.

You can read the rest of this fucking idiot’s article here. While reading it know full well that this is the way that almost all idiot liberal democrats feel.

Here’s my message to Chris Satullo, hey you piece of fucking shit, if you hate this country so much why don’t you go move somewhere else, like say Iran or Venezuela

Muslims in Houston try to Indoctrinate errr… “Educate” Their Neighbors

This story from My Fox Houston, there is a video included at the link:

HOUSTON  –  The distribution of Qurans in a southwest Houston neighborhood has some residents worried about the motives of the group who dispersed the Islamic book.

An English translation of the Quran began appearing two weeks ago on the doorsteps of hundred of homes in the BraesTimbers neighborhood. The books came in plastic bags with a note attached from the ‘Book of Signs Foundation’ asking recipients to accept the Quran as a gift from the Muslim community.

But some residents, like Greg and Sue Ann Pieri, said they feared the group is imposing its beliefs on non-Muslims and found the gesture offensive.

“If we went into a Muslim country and left a bible, we would be in prison and then decapitated a few years later,” said Sue Ann Pieri, who chose not to destroy the book like other neighbors did.

However, Houston’s Council on American-Islamic Relations President Tarick Hussein said although his organization did not partake in distributing the books, he believes that the Muslims behind the distribution only wanted to educate non-Muslims about the religion.

The Book of Signs Foundation claims to have distributed 30,000 Qurans in Houston, targeting neighborhoods believed to be most receptive of the Quran or in need of a better understanding of Islam.

I’m sorry but if you’re goal is to educate non-Muslims about the Religion, I don’t think passing out free copies of the book are the way to go. Unless of course, by “educate” you mean showing them how much of a truly gutter religion Islam is.

Here are some bits and pieces of the Koran, courtesy of an old post of mine:

  • Men are superior to women (surah 2:228).
  • Women have half the rights of men: in court witness (surah 2:282) and in inheritance (surah 4:11).
  • A man may punish his wife by beating her (surah 4:34).
  • A man may marry up to four wives at the same time (surah 4:3).
  • A wife is a sex object for her husband (surah 2:223).
  • Muslims must fight until their opponents submit to Islam (surah 9:29).
  • A Muslim must not take a Jew or a Christian for a friend (surah 5:51).
  • A Muslim apostate must be killed (surah 9:12).
  • Stealing is punished by the amputation of the hands (surah 5:38).
  • Adultery is punished by public flogging (surah 24:2).
  • Resisting Islam is punished by death, crucifixion or the cutting off of the hands and feet (surah 5:33).
  • Fate decides everyone’s eternal destination (surah 17:13).
  • Every Muslim will pass through Hell (surah 19:71).
  • Heaven in Islam is the place where a Muslim will be reclining, eating meats and delicious fruits, drinking exquisite wines, and engaging in sex with virgins (surah 55:54- 56) & (surah 52:17,19).

Note to Muslims, except for the last point which don’t sound all that bad, passing out a book that outlines all that stuff to Non-Muslims is not a very good idea, you dumb asses.

Florida Democrat Supports the Military… of Soviet Russia

» by Joe in: Politics

Showing the true nature of modern day Democrats, Florida Congressman Tim Mahoney, through his congressional office staff sent out a postcard that was intended to acknowledge and honor the sacrifices of the brave men and women of the U.S. Armed forces, both past and present. But, knowing that 99.9% of all liberal democrats can’t bring themselves in their hearts to fully and honestly honor our troops, somebody on Mahoney’s staff made an “honest error.

Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer wants Congressman Tim Mahoney, D-Palm Beach Gardens, to reimburse taxpayers for a mailing that featured an image of a former soldier of the Soviet Union’s Red Army.

“Is a taxpayer-funded mail piece featuring a Soviet veteran who defended communism really the way that Congressman Mahoney wants to ‘honor’ our men and women in uniform?” Greer stated. “Floridian’s hard-earned tax dollars should never be used to promote a communist veteran, whether it is a mistake or not, and it is time for Tim Mahoney to reimburse the taxpayers of Congressional District 16 for this ridiculous waste of money, not to mention his insensitivity and complete lack of understanding of veterans’ issues.”

Mahoney’s office apologized Monday for placing the decorated Soviet on an office mailing that was to honor “those who defend our freedom.” But it had no response to Greer’s comment about repaying taxpayers.

“This was an honest staff error,” said Charles Halloran, chief of staff for Mahoney. “We deeply apologize to those who were offended and we will take steps to ensure that this mistake doesn’t happen in the future.”

I agree with the “honest” part, in that modern day Democrats certainly honestly do feel more for Red Russia then they do Red, White and Blue America

It’s Not Torture, If You’d Have It Done To Yourself on Purpose.

» by Joe in: General

I actually like Christopher Hitchens, oftentimes I agree with a lot of what he writes about, except his views on atheism and such. But, with his most recent article for Vanity Fair, I have to call bullshit on Mr. Hitchens.

Christopher Hitchens had the act of water boarding performed on him, so he could write an article describing its effects and deciding whether or not it was torture.

You can read the article here.

As for my thoughts, if a 59-year old man willingly has the procedure done to him, for the purposes of writing an article for Vanity Fair magazine — then America needs to step up the techniques it uses to gain information from our enemies, because water boarding obviously isn’t tough enough.
